Gay immigrants are mounting a campaign to demand that they be
included in any unilateral moves President Obama makes this year to halt
deportations, arguing that they face unusual circumstances that
otherwise might leave them on the outside.

The demands pose a
tricky test for Mr. Obama, who has made major inroads with gay rights
groups during his time in the White House, but who will have to draw
lines somewhere as he seeks to craft a more lenient deportation policy
without canceling deportations altogether.
